I had surgery a little over a month ago and was recommended by my surgeon to use these silicone strips to help with my scarring. I did notice improvements in my scar within 3 weeks. My tummy tuck scar was raised just a bit after surgery and now it is flat. No, I don't expect my scar to be COMPLETELY gone or faded over time but I believe that these strips have helped and I would recommend them DEFINITELY for your tummy-tuck recovery.

This Pre & Post Op Multinutrient Kit (no Vitamin E) has been designed specifically to help patients accelerate healing and obtain better cosmetic results following plastic surgery (as well as general surgeries) by providing all the vital healing supplements, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids that have been shown to be vital for preparing the body for surgery and for helping one have a faster recovery. Taken in tablet/pill form starting anywhere from 1-2 weeks pre-op or several days before the surgery up until 30 days post-op, the Multinutrient Kit helps build and maximize your body’s tissue reserves of nutrients that are important for the healing process, helps speed up recovery by strengthening the body’s natural healing process, helping reduce swelling and bruising, supporting wound healing, promoting repair and growth of tissues damaged by surgery, and by protecting the body from infection by enhancing the immune system defenses. Appropriate for both women and men of all ages.
